Chapter 92: Millennium Tomb Guardian
Jiang Nanxi had long sensed an unusual aura. The moment Chen Lan pushed her, she squatted down a little and rolled on the ground to avoid it.
Because Shen Lan failed to push her, his balance was unstable and he fell towards the bushes.
There was a sound of something breaking through the air. Before Shen Lan could stand up, a thick spider silk was thrown out from the bushes and wrapped around his legs.
Jiang Nanxi quickly got up and watched coldly as Shen Lan was tightly entangled by spider silk and then dragged away.
Troublemakers.
Still want to harm her?
Shen Lan fell to the ground and vaguely saw a huge black shadow with a strange figure behind the bushes. The blood color on his face disappeared instantly and he was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.
"Help, help!"
Shen Lan's cry attracted the attention of others.
"Chen Lan, what's wrong with you!"
Song Wanwan turned her head and saw that half of Chen Lan's leg had been dragged into the bushes.
He lay on the ground with a pale face, clinging tightly to the exposed roots of a big tree.
His nails dug into the tree roots, but he still couldn't grab hold, and his body was gradually dragged into the bushes.
"Monster, there's a monster, save me!"
Shen Lan's screams continued to be heard.
Song Wanwan hurriedly ran towards him, grabbed Shen Lan's hands, and tried to drag him out.
But the force that was pulling Shen Lan was too strong, and Song Wanwan couldn't pull her out at all, and she was dragged to the ground.
"Everyone come and help!"
Soon after, Hou Xiao, Song Shixing and others came to help. After finally pulling Shen Lan out, they saw that his legs were covered with spider webs.
Hou Xiao was immediately shocked. "What is this? Spider silk? Why are there so many?!"
Song Shixing quickly took out a knife and said, "Hold him tight, I'll cut the spider silk, otherwise we won't be able to pull him out."
"good!"
Song Shixing quickly cut off the spider silk, and the others pulled Shen Lan out with force.
Song Shixing put away the knife and looked at the lush bushes, wanting to see what kind of creatures were inside, but there were many huge banana leaves stacked up above the bushes, blocking his view.
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shen Lan who was lying limp on the ground, "Shen Lan, what kind of monster is that? Why is there so much spider silk? That should be spider silk, right?"
Chen Lan looked towards the bushes in horror. "I don't know what kind of monster it was. I just saw a strange human face. That face... that face had distorted features, one eyeball was higher than the other, and it was protruding. It was green, and it could spit out spider silk from its mouth!"
“…”
The others fell silent, obviously not believing Shen Lan's words, but when they thought about the many strange things they had encountered on this show, they couldn't help but feel a little worried.
[What the hell is that? Could it be the human-headed female ghost from last time?]
[I don't think so. Chen Lan was scared by a female ghost once. If it was a female ghost, she would definitely recognize it.]
[It has a human face, green eyes, and can spit out spider silk. Could it be a spider spirit?]
Journey to the West: Is it real? Do demons that take human form really exist in this world?
Just now, when the others were rescuing Shen Lan, Jiang Nanxi had been standing still, just standing not far away with his hands folded, looking at the bushes covered by banana leaves.
She narrowed her eyes, with a hint of thought in them, as if she had guessed what it was.
But the environment in which this thing was born is very harsh. It usually exists in ancient tombs that are more than a thousand years old. How could it appear in this tropical rainforest?
"Let's get out of here!"
Shen Lan said anxiously.
The others didn't dare to stay in this place any longer and hurriedly continued to move forward along the route.
Walked for a while.
Liu Qingyan suddenly stopped and said, "Don't you think the surroundings look familiar? We seem to have been to this place before. There's a bush over here, and the bushes are covered with banana leaves."
"We have been moving forward, how can we go back to where we were?"
Hou Xiao said.
"Bush and banana leaves are common vegetation in rainforests. It's normal that you think this place looks familiar."
"Yeah?"
Everyone continued to move forward, but not long after, they found a lot of banana leaves around them, and Liu Qingyan even tripped over a tree root exposed on the ground.
"There are fingernail marks on the tree roots. Aren't these the roots that Chen Lan pulled out? He was almost dragged into this bush just now."
Hearing Liu Qingyan's voice, everyone came to his side and looked at the tree root on the ground.
Shen Lan's expression became even uglier.
He looked down at his fingers and saw that there was still a lot of tree root bark on his fingernails.
Shen Lan looked around again and found that the environment looked more and more familiar. "We are back again, and still in this place! How could this happen!"
Hou Xiao also looked at the tree roots on the ground with a serious expression. "Are we just going in circles? But the pathfinder shows that we are moving forward."
Hou Xiao carefully looked at the pathfinder in his hand, his expression slightly changed. "It's over. The pathfinder has no signal, not even a satellite signal."
With a click.
The drone camera not far from them fell from the sky and landed on a pile of dead leaves.
Jiang Nanxi walked over and picked it up. "The drone has lost signal and is no longer broadcasting. It seems the magnetic field in this area has been affected by some force."
"What kind of power is that? Could it be the human-faced monster that Shen Lan saw?"
Hou Xiao said nervously.
"uncertain."
Jiang Nanxi glanced around and said, "That thing won't interfere with the magnetic field. It must be something else that affects the magnetic field in this area. If the monster Chen Lan encountered is as I suspected, I'm afraid there are even greater dangers waiting for us."
"What monster do you think it is?"
Hou Xiao asked, but Jiang Nanxi did not answer. Instead, he took out a pile of yellow paper, pasted it on the drone and started drawing talismans.
"Jiang Nanxi, come on, if you know what it is, why don't you tell us?"
Hou Xiao ran over to her and continued, "You asked us to take this road, so you have to tell us the specific conditions along this road!"
Jiang Nanxi drew the talisman to isolate the drone from the magnetic field influence brought by the strange power in the area, allowing the drone to restore its signal and fly.
Then, she slowly spoke, "That thing should be a human-faced spider, a monster that has been nurtured in cemeteries with Yin energy for thousands of years. In ancient times, some kings and nobles would specifically seek out masters to cultivate these monsters as tomb guardians."
"Tomb guardian beast? Shouldn't it be in the tomb? Why is it in the rainforest?"
"How would I know? You have to ask it."
After Jiang Nanxi and Hou Xiaogang finished chatting, they heard Song Shixing's loud shouting.
"What human-faced spider are you talking about? Is this the thing? It...it's here again, and it's biting Brother Qingyan's trouser leg. Hurry and save him!"
The two turned around and saw Liu Qingyan standing next to the bushes, not daring to move, with a nervous look on his face. There was a dark object at his feet.
